RSS feeds cont....

The RSS feeds exercises took some practice to get my head around all the possibilities. I need to try and see what each method does (empirical!) and I'm still intending to see if I can add a feed to something directly from my own blog, but I'm having trouble at the moment with my blog settings, getting errors on edit pages. I may have to start from scratch.
I think RSS feeds from favourite searches in db's could be useful for students, academics, staff etc. It's another form of alerts, really, but without having to log in to your library profile - assuming the person is often on their own blog. It would be interesting to add to a library blog - but how non-specific would it have to be?
